about the lion as the most dangerous game in the African savannah lands and
mostly Kenya.
Whether it’s the babies’ lion or samba the lion cub when one asks what is the
deadliest animal in the world? The true facts about lions are always revealed
in amazing lion images whether lions are playing or when different lions are
hunting together. With a lot of animal predators and animal competition among
